Conversation is the glue that holds relationships together

Our passion helps people like you to have more successful and engaging conversations

Hugh is one of the best training facilitators I have come across in nearly 25 years of professional development in the UK, Hong Kong and here in Australia. His techniques, insights, and manner with the group was instrumental in them coming away with an enormous amount of drive to grow our business in the coming months and years.

We continue to get astounding results from our staff from your "Presentation is Just a Conversation" course. The confidence levels after the training are way up, the feedback is excellent and the quality of presentations vastly improved. Instead of having to drag our staff along we now have them lining up. This is in no small way a tribute to both the way you have structured the course but also to your dynamic training style.

Hugh was recommended to me as a person of good character and exceptional training skills; he not only displayed these qualities but also was engaging, communicative, flexible and imaginative. Hugh helped us to grow Candle into one of the most admired companies in the industry. I highly recommend him for culture changing sales oriented assignments.

Candle Recruiting

Hugh has presented on goal setting and personal selling to my TEC group as well as ... TEC CEO members. He delivers with much energy and is able to connect in a way that facilitates people to gain insights into their own behaviours when it comes to selling themselves or their organisations' products/ services. I recommend Hugh to any organisation which is seeking to lift the sales performance of its people.

Centricom Pty Ltd

Hugh was engaged to deliver a tailored program for 10 of our people ... Feedback from the team was: best money I have ever spent, best training course ever, valuable from the first to the last minute, made me think totally differently about how I execute my job - learned a lot from Hugh. We will engage Hugh again because he engages honestly, professionally, warmly and thought provokingly.

A very big THANK YOU Hugh, for attending and presenting at our Forum Event. The team thoroughly enjoyed your Attitude to Self, Brand and Sell session. And the interactive technology to relay the messaging was a great tool and technique to keep the team engaged.

Hugh is a consummate professional and his approach to the art of selling is truly "eye opening". His training methods are backed up by many years as a real success in this area. Hugh's great strength is understanding people. This ability to understand helps to create a sound bridge and real relationships which allows meaningful conversations to take place.

Hay Group engaged with Hugh mid 2012 to coach our Business Developers and Account Managers in the art of selling. Even though the company had previously worked with Hugh, we hired him again due to his responsiveness, understanding of our needs and subsequent tailored cost effective approach/program.
Since Hugh delivered the 2 day training program and follow up coaching sessions, our Account Managers specifically have been more comfortable in client conversations, have a framework that each of them talks around internally and externally and ultimately now has an opportunity pipeline that is at the targeted size for the team.
A major factor in getting to these results was engaging with Hugh. I would recommend him to any company who want's similar results.

Hay Group

Hugh is an excellent presenter, facilitator and communicator. He provided valuable insights that will make identifying and communicating with different personality 'types' much easier and more rewarding.

Hugh Gyton is indeed a High-Stakes Conversation Expert. His keynote address at Tridan's Annual Training Forum was enjoyed by our entire team - everyone valued the inspiring talk, and interaction, on the improvement of communication skills. In addition, Hugh's workshop to coach skills in sales conversations kept the sales team engaged and enthusiastic throughout. I strongly recommend this training for any team required to participate in high-stakes conversations.
